SBF to boost global trade and investment with new initiative

SBF will enhance cross-border trade, develop private sector advocacy, and cultivate future industry leaders.

The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) plans to set up a Centre for the Future of Trade and Investment (CFOTI).

The initiative aims to boost trade and investment by enhancing Singapore and regional businesses' global trade capabilities, developing private sector advocacy, and cultivating future trade leaders to create innovative solutions.

The CFOTI will build on SBF’s existing initiatives, including GlobalConnect@SBF, the FTA Education and Outreach program, and business representations in multilateral forums.

A committee led by Mr. Gan Seow Kee, former Vice Chairman of SBF and former Chairman and MD of ExxonMobil Asia Pacific, will guide the formation of the CFOTI.

Businesses and stakeholders are invited to join this public-private initiative to advance global trade.

cross-border trade

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
